Did you receive it yet? I suspect it might be funny if you didn't but I've more research to conduct before I'm sure.

I would put it in the middle. Not that obscure, but not so famous you should feel ashamed.

I discovered that author, Alastair Reynolds, last year and read through that series plus a ton of his other stuff. It's all generally fun, although I don't think the author sticks the landing that often.

Making the API write-only will do nothing to stop spam.

Making it free for read-only would allow researchers, journalists, etc to determine information on Twitter trends, which Elon doesn't want.

Why does it seem like a security vulnerability?

My father was an airline pilot

Growing up, he tells me of all the engineering that goes in to prevent accidents

Despite this , trying to land without landing gear down is a common occurrence (in terms of what frequent means in aviation). Humans get easily tricked by mode confusion.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't trust the powers at twitter hq to activate/install/select the right API for the job

I would never read a book. I don’t want to say no book is ever worth reading, but I actually do believe something pretty close to that. If you wrote a book, you hosed up, and it should have been a six-paragraph blog post.

He'd buy the restaurant for a million, fire the staff, and make the dishcleaners do everything instead. Then charge for cutlery and reservations (per-hour), double the prices, and claim things are better than ever a day before getting foreclosed for not paying rent and a failing grade from a health inspection.

The place will have been a beloved dollar-slice pizza joint.

Elmo apparently has horrific back and neck problems because he totally was able to lift a 350 pound sumo wrestler instead of getting his rear end kicked on his birthday:

“Mr. Musk took to the ring and—according to him—managed to throw the 350-pound opponent, resulting in an injury to his spine. "It cost me smashing my c5-c6 disc & 8 years of mega back pain!" Mr. Musk said on Twitter last year.“
